A Message to Trump
Dr. Mohamed Dabasha
Member of the Egyptian Writers Union
In a brief interview broadcast by international news agencies, US President Donald Trump asked Egypt and Jordan to host the people of Gaza for a short or long period until Israel finishes cleansing the Gaza Strip of Hamas. He confirmed in a later interview that Sisi and the King of Jordan will do this because he provides support to both countries, despite Egypt and Jordan's rejection of this request. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi confirmed that his country will not participate in any injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people and that the solution lies in the two-state solution to achieve security and peace for the Israeli and Palestinian people. He added that if this request is imposed and approved, the Egyptian people will rise up against it and the region will experience undesirable consequences. Sisi stressed during a press conference with his Kenyan counterpart that there will be no tolerance or permission to tamper with Egyptian national security in light of what is being said about the displacement of Palestinians. He added that Egypt is committed to its principles towards establishing a Palestinian state without neutrality or concessions.
In a statement issued by the Jordanian Royal Court, King Abdullah stressed, during separate meetings held in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Parliament President Roberta Mezzola, and European Council President Antonio Costa, Jordan and Egypt's position on the necessity of establishing the Palestinians on their land and obtaining their legitimate rights in accordance with the two-state solution and ending the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people for more than 70 years. The Palestinian presidency also affirmed its categorical rejection of the displacement of the residents of Gaza and thanked Egypt and Jordan for their steadfast positions on the Palestinian cause. In the same context, the Arab League stressed that any attempts to uproot the Palestinian people from their land are rejected and violate international law. The most eloquent response to Trump's delusions was the return of the displaced residents of Gaza to the Strip despite the massive destruction they suffered as a result of the blatant Israeli aggression. For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that calls for Palestinians to leave for Egypt and Jordan are not something that can lead to peace. In this view, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced that US President Donald Trump's proposal to settle Gaza residents in Arab countries contradicts the concept of peaceful coexistence between two sovereign states, Israel and Palestine, which France calls for. Paris considered any forced displacement of Gaza Palestinians 'unacceptable.' In the same vein, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that US President Donald Trump's proposal to transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt is 'unacceptable.' He added at an election conference in Berlin: 'Any plans for resettlement, expelling Gaza citizens from there to Egypt or Jordan, are unacceptable.' He added that he supports the two-state solution, where Israelis and Palestinians live side by side. Side by side in peace". And not to dispel the fragile hope for peace that has now become possible,' referring to the recent ceasefire agreement, adding that 'peace will not be achieved unless the population feels that there is hope for a future in which they govern themselves.'
Apart from the official response of all Arab and Islamic countries and every country that stands against this unreasonable Trumpian demand, I remind Trump, who has lost his legal awareness and who disregards international law, that the Arab people know very well that your country participates in every injustice that befalls the people of Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. If you believe that Arab presidents await Mama America's orders and implement them for fear of your brutality, then you are delusional and you must come to your senses. As for myself, and as a member of the Egyptian Writers Union, I reject calls to displace the residents of Gaza and I demand that the US Congress intervene and investigate Trump regarding what he announced about a plan to displace the residents of Gaza without taking into account the rights of the Palestinian people to live on all of their lands occupied in 1967. I also demand that legal men in Egypt and all countries of the world file a complaint with the International Court of Justice against this president.
Even though I know that this is useless, and that the solution is in what he said The late leader Gamal Abdel Nasser said that what was taken by force can only be restored by force.

Degwy family lawyer reveals details of the fortune distribution
The legal representative for Nawal al-Degwy and her two granddaughters, Mohamed Shehata, revealed the fate of the shares between the heirs of Sherif al-Degwy's sons and Mona al-Degwy's daughters such the ownership structure of the companies and institutions under dispute. During a telephone interview with TV host Lamis al-Hadidi on the 'Last Word' (Kalema Akhera) TV show, Shehata said, 'This issue has more than one aspect.' 'Discussing the estate of a living person is a sensitive matter, but the settlement currently underway, sponsored by Nawal el-Degwy, to reunite the family, is still being discussed between institutions and companies and is the subject of negotiations,' Shehata said, adding 'I am optimistic that we will reach a quick solution to this issue.' In response to Al-Hadidi's question: 'Has the late Mona al-Degwy's will actually been opened in the past few days?' Shehata replied: 'Indeed, that happened. A year before her passing, the late Mona al-Degwy had deposited a sealed will at the Real Estate Registry. It was opened and reviewed a few days ago.' He continued: 'In it, she bequeathed a third of her entire estate to her two daughters, Engy and Mahy. I was appointed by the deceased to be the executor of that will.' In response to al-Hadidi's question: 'Is the third she bequeathed outside the (Islamic) legal inheritance?' Shehata said: 'Yes, the third does not include the (Islamic) legal inheritance. Egyptian law allows for a bequest to an heir, as Nawal al-Degwy will inherit one-sixth (from her daughter Mona's estate), and her two daughters will have a share outside the will. The remaining percentage will be distributed among the males of the family, who are Ahmed al-Degwy's heirs: Amr al-Degwy and Mohamed.' Shehata continued: 'Egyptian law also stipulates that the implementation of wills and inheritance begins with the payment of all debts owed by the deceased. Then the will is given, which may not, under any circumstances, exceed one-third, as Mona al-Degwy did. Then, the remainder of the estate after the one-third allocated by the will is distributed according to the legal shares among the grandmother, the two granddaughters, and the grandsons.' Hadidi interrupted him, asking, 'Have you taken stock of this inheritance or what she has left behind?' Shehata replied, 'The inventory process is underway, and it will be part of the comprehensive settlement of all disputes, because we are eager to ensure that no blemish remains in this family.'
